LARGE CUSTOMERS AND DISTRIBUTED GENERATION IN SYNERGEE VERSION 4.0

LARGE CUSTOMERS AND DISTRIBUTED GENERATION IN SYNERGEE VERSION 4.0
How is large customers defined in synergee 4.0 with respect to distributed generation?

SynerGEE provides a special load model to handle distributed generators, co-generators, and large customers, known collectively as the “large customer.” On the map, large customers are similar to devices because they use their own map symbols and separate editors. On a functional level, a large customer is similar to a spot load and/or a modelled generator. Large customers provide the following features, which may determine whether you use them or a different load model:

• Identifiable map entity with a symbol. At its simplest level, a large customer may be functionally identical to a spot load. However, the large customer provides a symbol on the map, a listing in the SynerGEE model explorer, and easier management through tools such as reports.

• Combined generation/load. With a large customer, you can combine the generation and load aspects of a customer into a single entity. In addition, you can apply the simple “negative PQ” generation component without the overhead of a normal generator device with its required equipment type.

• Climate profiles for solar and wind generation.

           o Solar – select this option to configure the generator as a solar generator, and then use the options lists to select a Tilt profile and a Location profile. Synergee will also use the cloud cover data that is configured in the Time and Weather Options editor to determine the generator’s output.

           o Wind – Select this option to configure the generator as a wind generator and then use the options lists to select a Tilt profile and a Location profile. SynerGEE will also use the wind speed data that is configured in the Time and Weather Options editor to determine the generator’s output.

Section Distributed Generation
Every section has the capability for distributed generation. This option is best suited for residential type photovoltaic installations.

           • Type – Reference to a generator type in your equipment warehouse. Only generator types that have the “Section Distributed Generation” check box selected on the Ratings tab of the Generator Type editor will be available for selection from this list.

PARTS OF A POWER TRANSFORMER

What are the name of the basic parts of a Power Transformer? We can not deny the fact that only a handful of electrical engineering students are presently familiar with power transformers especially on what it looks like. Unlike a transformer we found in our homes, a power transformer’s appearance and construction is somewhat more complicated. It is not just a simple winding with a primary and secondary terminal although basically any transformer has one. The function that a power transformer plays in an electrical system is very important that an electric utility can not afford to loss it during its operation. Our discussion here will focus more on the basic parts and functions of a power transformer that are usually tangible whenever you go to a substation . Although not all power transformers are identical, nonetheless they all have the following listed parts in which the way of construction may differ.

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS How is electric motor frame size being specified? Motor frame dimensions have been standardized with a uniform frame size numbering system. This system was developed by NEMA and specific frame sizes have been assigned to standard motor ratings based on enclosure, horsepower and speed. The current standardized frames for integral horsepower induction motors ranges from 143T to 445T. These standards cover most motors in the range of one through two hundred horsepower. Typical example of where you can locate the frame is shown in Fig 1.2.D – Frame No. The numbers used to designate frame sizes have specific meanings based on the physical size of the motor. Some digits are related to the motor shaft height and the remaining digit or digits relate to the length of the motor. The rerate, or frame size reduction programs were brought about by advancements in motor technology relating mainly to higher temperature ratings of insulating mate

ELECTRIC MOTOR NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS

How do we interpret an electric motor nameplate? Motor standards are established on a country by country basis.Fortunately though, the standards can be grouped into two major categories: NEMA and IEC (and its derivatives). In North America, the National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) sets motor standards, including what should go on the nameplate (NEMA Standard MG 1-10.40 "Nameplate Marking for Medium Single-Phase and Polyphase Induction Motors").
